Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight and others were 228-370 passing for 2,756 yards, 20 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2016. Fisch has been the passing game coordinator for two seasons at Michigan after he was the offensive coordinator with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013 and 2014.

Rosen’s offensive coordinator in his 2015 freshman season was Noel Mazzone. Rosen was 292-487 passing for 3,670 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 2015. Mazzone left after the season to become Texas A&M’s offensive coordinator and was replaced by Kennedy Polamalu.

Rosen’s stats were down in 2016, though that’s because he was hampered by a shoulder injury and missed considerable time as UCLA couldn’t muster a running game after the departure of running back Paul Perkins to the NFL. Rosen was 137-231 passing for 1,915 yards, 10 touchdowns and five interceptions.

Polamalu was fired in November.
